The Foundation For Young Australians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Foundation For Young Australians (or FYA) is an Australian non-profit organisation committed to empowering and supporting the lives of young Australians aged from 12 to 25. It was formed in 2000, when The Australian Youth Foundation and The Queen’s Trust for Young Australians merged.

The FYA's vision is for communities celebrating and strengthening young people.

[edit] Funding Opportunities

There are many funding opportunities from the FYA, opening at different times of the year. These include:
